Romans 6:16-18

Living_Oracles(i) 16 Do you not know, that to whom you present yourselves servants, by obedience; his servants you are whom you thus obey; whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness? 17 But, thanks to God, that though you were the servants of sin; yet you have heartily obeyed that model of doctrine to which you have been given up. 18 And being made free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness.
